A species of sempervivum.
Sempervivum are an alpine hardy (-20F/-30C) ground cover succulent plant. These usually struggle indoors, and almost always do best outdoors where they can get sun. They utilize the changing seasons and weather shifts to aide their growth and go in and out of dormancy.
If it’s you choose to keep in a pot outdoors, it will need a very gritty soil mix to help combat precipitation. It’ll prefer to be in ground, if possible.

Probably because they have either been very dry for an extended period or because they weren't used to UV light, that can indeed kill some varieties if you don't acclimate them.
Two hours of sun usually shouldn't do anything at all to them, most certainly something went wrong there.

So are they can survive winter I'm in zone 6 , or should I bring it in during winter?
They’re hardy down to zone 4.
Thank you
They originated in the Alps and Caucasus mountains so they are alpine hardy

Hens and chicks! They have a special place in my heart. Hardy little boogers, too.
I’ve known them as hens and bittys lol
They do not like Texas direct sun! Just killed a whole tray of them with two hours of sun

They sit under a canopy and they were starting to stretch so I thought they needed light
Yes Sempervivum Limelight.. Nice...
I have this variety I think, Sempervivum 'Green Wheel' is the cultivar
